In the spirit of Tony Koester's "Layout Design Elements", I would suggest that you take the loops of track as "pencilled in" only, and start working in the trackage needed for the various industries, yards and staging you want. Then (re)connect the mainline and see what you've got.
Are you intending to model both ends of the coal run? E.g. coal fired plant and coal mine. If so, do you want to use a loads-in-empties-out scheme with the industries back to back?
